Sure, if you let it only execute (set the limit to) one at a time.... it will do a sequence only / as well.
Just to be complete, if one tells the command the limit is 5, it will start t scripts at once in paralell.
And then check every few secs if one or more has ended.
So if 3 had ended, it can start another 3 at once.
If you set the limit to 1000, it could run a thousand scripst in paralell, but still would need to check every few secs, if some had ended and if there are remainings to start.
Its designed to work with more scripts, not just 3, but for some reason, 3 is always the question on the forum.
Also, its not (only) ment to run scripts in background, but also to let you know how they returned.
But guess/seems its an overkill for your needs.

NAME
service - run a System V init script
SYNOPSIS
service SCRIPT COMMAND [OPTIONS]
service --status-all
service --help | -h | --version
DESCRIPTION
service runs a System V init script in as predictable environment as possible, removing most environment variables and with current working
directory set to /.
The SCRIPT parameter specifies a System V init script, located in /etc/init.d/SCRIPT. The supported values of COMMAND depend on the
invoked script, service passes COMMAND and OPTIONS it to the init script unmodified. All scripts should support at least the start and
stop commands. As a special case, if COMMAND is --full-restart, the script is run twice, first with the stop command, then with the start
command.
service --status-all runs all init scripts, in alphabetical order, with the status command.
EXIT CODES
service calls the init script and returns the status returned by it.
FILES
/etc/init.d
The directory containing System V init scripts.
ENVIRONMENT
LANG, TERM
The only environment variables passed to the init scripts.
SEE ALSO
/etc/init.d/skeleton,
update-rc.d(8),
init(8),
invoke-rc.d(8).
